Career impact FAQs

LBS Careers provides support in 4 ways:

Career Development – you will develop the skills necessary to manage your individual career strategy; whether that is a conducting an effective job search, accelerating in your organisation or setting up your own entrepreneurial venture.

Career Coaching – one-to-one tailored support to give you a better understanding of who you are, what you have to offer and what is right for you

Career and Networking Opportunities – you will have the opportunity to explore and examine different sectors, companies and roles through meeting practitioners and professionals.

Career Insights – you will build on your own research by accessing up to date information on employment trends, hiring practices, as well as geographic, sector and company insights
Students choosing to enroll onto the LBS Sloan are experienced executives reaching the peak of their career, each with a unique profile. Working with a dedicated Career Lead students can plan their individual career strategy. Some will hope to change their career path, others will want to move industry, some may experiment with entrepreneurship, while some will leverage the programme learning to accelerate their career within their current organisation.

At executive level we understand that you are in the leagues of being the ‘expert one’ and hiring works differently at this senior level. For this reason, the emphasis is not on recruitment, but rather on empowering you to plan your own individual career progression strategy, working with you to craft your personal story and target organisations where you could add value.
When companies recruit at executive level, they usually seek a specific profile of experience, personality and fit for their organisation. Only a handful of candidates will meet their criteria and they will not use structured business school recruitment as a means to find them (as is typical for MBA hiring).

For senior positions, recruiters do not limit their search to Business Schools. Career Centre focuses attention on helping individual students develop a strong personal brand, effective self-marketing tools, and a clear job search strategy to enable them to secure conversations with organisations who will value their particular profile.

During your time at London Business School, you will be given the opportunity to immerse yourself in the career and professional development programme, exclusively designed for Sloan Fellows. The programme involves a wide range of activities and consists of four interrelated components:

Career workshops and insight sessions

Career coaching sessions

Professional development sessions

Leadership coaching sessions

We run an annual programme of webinars, events and workshops to support you in your career and professional development. These cover a range of topics, from developing your personal brand to becoming a Non-Executive Director.
